Beyond The Labyrinth Has Turn Based Battles, But You Don’t Choose Commands

While tri-Ace tends to create action oriented battle systems for their games, Beyond the Labyrinth has turn based battles. The twist is instead of selecting a command like attack, magic or item players choose the strength of the attack and the target. Attack strength changes the turn order since a powerful hit has more recovery time.

Beyond the Labyrinth also has three elements, which are named after rocks-paper-scissors terms in Japanese. If you hit a scissors-type enemy with a rock attack the damage will be released in the air. The next character, friend or foe, can absorb the damage and recover HP. Exploiting weaknesses has a tradeoff, but players can also tweak the turn order by using different attack strengths to block enemies from healing themselves.

Beyond the Labyrinth comes out on January 19 in Japan.
